On the evening of April 15, Zhu Yi, the administrator of the German transfer market website China, updated Weibo, revealing that Tianjin Jinmen Tigers' target foreign players David Anduhar, Fari Rosa and Robert Beric had completed the relevant registration procedures in the Chinese Football Association. Together with Radović, who had previously completed the registration, these four foreign aides became the official members of the Jinmen Tigers only to be officially announced.
Regarding the current situation of the Jinmen Tigers and some teams in the current Chinese Super League, some fans said: The Jinmen Tigers suffered the sins of some Chinese Super League teams last year. Although this sentence is somewhat absolute, it is not unreasonable. But the most important thing is that the Jinmen Tigers did not "lie flat" when they suffered, but in the absence of winter training, after a whole season of hard work, under the leadership of the coaching team, step by step, they made steady progress, and finally completed the goal of relegation.
It is precisely because of the tempering of last season that the Jinmen Tigers are very careful in preparing for the new season. In the preparation period for the new season, the Jinmen Tigers can be said to be one of the teams with the most orderly progress in their work. In terms of reinforcements, the club has already reported the specific plans of reinforcements to the relevant authorities at the end of last season. Since then, it has begun to introduce internal and external assistance in places that need to be reinforced step by step.
Among them, Yang Fan and Anduhar fill the gap in the team's position at center-back after the departure of Li Songyi and Kadar. From the current point of view, the main tactics of the Jinmen Tigers in the new season are still based on defensive counterattacks. Putting defense first, though, doesn't mean offense is about "hitting where it counts." On the contrary, what the Jinmen Tigers focus on in this preparation period is the team's ability to switch from attack to defense. It is believed that Wang Qiuming, Tian Yinong and winger Rosa can all play an important role in the conversion of attack and defense. Finally, the addition of Beric and Radonic will solve the pain point that the team did not have a high school striker in the front line for a whole season last year.
Compared with last year, the Jinmen Tigers do have a thicker "family foundation". This is also the reason why many fans are looking forward to the team's trend this season. However, today's generous family foundation still exists in theory. Several important reinforcement targets have not yet been put in place, which will have a greater impact on the preparation of the Jinmen Tigers.
At present, only two foreign players in the team, Rosa and Radonic, are training with the team. Both Anduhar and Beric are still in Shanghai. Among them, Andujar and the team's physical fitness coach Povida Javier have ended their medical isolation observation after entering the country. Beric's medical quarantine observation will also end on April 18. Given the current epidemic control situation in Shanghai, it is not easy for them to return to Tianjin. To this end, the club is also implementing the plan of the three people to leave Shanghai and return to Tianjin as soon as possible. After all, after returning to Tianjin, according to the current epidemic prevention regulations, Beric, Anduhar and Havel all need to be medically isolated for observation. All three have a history of living in Shanghai within 7 days, so after arriving in Tianjin, they still need 7 days of centralized isolation and 7 days of home medical observation, and nucleic acid testing is carried out within 24 hours after arriving in Tianjin, the 3rd (isolation is 48 hours), 7, 14 days, and the test result is negative and can be released from management. In addition, the target internal aid Zhang Wei will also face this problem.
In the face of the epidemic, everything is put first in epidemic prevention work. Several players will also inevitably continue to miss training. Even if they can come to Tianjin in recent days, until they are released from medical isolation and observation and return to their physical condition, it will take nearly a month to really join the team's training. In addition, not to mention Vinović, who is still waiting for a ticket to China in the Netherlands.
Therefore, training is currently a major problem for the Jinmen Tigers. At the beginning of the new season, even if the Jinmen Tigers have a fully loaded lineup, the degree of recovery of some players and the degree of tactical run-in of the whole team will affect the actual combat effectiveness of the team. In addition, the Jinmen Tigers did not play warm-up matches after ending the Shanghai training session early. Previously, the team contacted the warm-up match with Shandong Taishan, Beijing Guoan and Wuhan Sanzhen, but in the end they could not make the trip due to epidemic prevention and control. The inability to play warm-up games before the new season will also be a major drawback in the preparation period. Of course, at present, the Chinese Super League teams are also facing this situation, but relatively speaking, the Jinmen Tigers, which have a relatively large change in lineup, will be more affected in this regard.
If the Jinmen Tigers have realized most of the new season's team building concept before, the lineup's neat tactical drills and more warm-up matches are the last pieces of the puzzle for the Jinmen Tigers to prepare for the new season. However, it will take a while to achieve this "key fight", and the majority of fans who care about the Jinmen Tigers must also wait patiently.
